About Us

My photo
Based in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, we three are longtime single cycle riders. After early retirement, Karen and David bought a jumbo-sized Cannondale tandem. It's white (very), trimmed in red. We call it the Pillsbury Doughboy. We were joined by Bill, an old friend, on his 14-year old single Cannondale and made the call that started this adventure. He's supposedly retired but continues to find real work when he chooses.We planned to pedal self-supported across the U.S. in Spring 2011 from San Diego CA to St. Augustine FL. In beginning this adventure we agreed philosophically with Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences."

Officially on tour!

Jamie, the airplane mechanic, helped assemble the bike.  Maybe it can fly now.


Bill made it in ,too and quickly got functional.
Wheel dip in the Pacific

Heading to our motel, what else but the WIENERMOBILE!

Next day was 4000+ feet, 51 miles. With 40 pounds of gear it is more like a century. We are now in Pine Valley. A loose knit group of Napa Valley cyclists with vehicles following is here too.
Snow predicted overnight. Now happy we lugged heavy clothing here. Foraging for food as this teeny tiny town shuts down. We are hunkered down in the only motel, and two open restaurants within walking distance.

    Glad to hear you are off and pedaling! Good decision about not wearing the helmet aboard the plane. Don't want to do anything strange on board or you might be subjected to emergency security searches. That would not be fun!
